About 50 people attended the event, which included a Mexican-style lunch provided by Nutrition Program staff. Land & Culture Department employees Brian Krehbiel and Travis Stewart performed the cultural drumming to open the meeting. The Meet & Greet was another in a series of events the Health and Wellness Clinic is participating in to better connect with the community.
